These comments always get me. The 2011 pair is still easy to find, and so are the 06/07 pair

2011 pair is not as sleek looking as the previous retros. I miss the emphasis on the lining when the heel part meets the rest of the shoe.

More likely having to do with the wrong material being used, I know it's so cliche to keep beating the dead horse here with the "Durabuck" talk but Durabuck looks 1000000x better.

In my opinion durabuck is s**t. I prefer the materials used on the oreo 5,s if im honest. To me if feels more premium and i like the way it changes shade. Durabuckdoesnt do that and its also easy to scuff. When they scuff its horrible too. Trust me im old enough to remember, i had a pair of metalics when they first came out infact they were my first ever pair of jays. They started to crack on me after about 8-10 solid wears. I was so disapointed

They're ok, not as bad as the VI varsity red. They're a lot better with durabuck.

V's are usually fire their aren't any models that make me smh with a sour face. I've been trying to scoop these for a minute now without success on eBay.Either the price has been to high or they looked like fakes.With that being said I'm in.

he's prob a butt hurt OG who only thinks a hand full of people should hold on to unwearable and crumbling OGs. He prob doesn't care that others want the OGs to even if they didn't have them

....well yeah. People have been craving for the NA to come back for years, and Nike's patiently waited and baited at every opportunity. Now they're taking a chance to pounce. And why would they not? They're a company based around making profit.

I'll never forget how salty I was when I bought a pair of 2000 Infrareds; the paint chipped, the bubble fogged up, and the Durabuck came off with just a touch. It's time JB remaster 3-6 especially the metallics, Infrareds, and the Bred 4s. Its been 15 years, come on now

If they do drop next year, then it's only appropriate that the drop fire red fives as well.  2016 is still 52 days away and it's sounding pretty promising after the first couple of months.  Keeping fingers crossed

The first pair of Js I really lusted after back in 99. Wore these everyday to summer camp haha.

I bought the 2013 fire reds and returned them the next day. Ish was horrible. One little detail I was unhappy about was the disappearance of a small piece of padding at the base of the tongue (between the tongue and toebox). Can't even comment on the comfort though.

With all that said, I hope these get special consideration in terms of comfort and materials.
